Ulmus ×hollandica 'Wredei' – Gold-Ulme

View prices and availability
Small tree with a columnar-pyramidal shape in the early years that eventually becomes round. The grey trunk is smooth and the twigs are brown to reddish-brown. The ovoid to broad elliptical leaves are remarkable for their golden yellow colour. Intensely yellow especially in the spring, they can turn to green in the course of the summer. The scalloped, somewhat rough leaves are pressed against the twig. Before the leaves appear the tree flowers: this is then followed by winged nutlets. There are probably several clones of 'Wredei' in existence. They differ in manner of growth: from pyramidal to rounded. This tree occurred as a sport of 'Dampieri': 'Wredei' resembles the latter most closely. It is one of the most remarkable elms and is still used frequently.
Our trees can only be planted when they don't have any leaves. Due to the this we will start delivering again from November 2025.
